The padded collar and tongue help support the ankle, which is why we recommend this shoe for seniors with weak ankles or prior ankle injuries.Īlthough the leather upper is perforated for breathability, the shoes may be a bit too warm to wear in hot weather. With a lightweight, molded EVA midsole, the Stability Walker offers the right amount of cushioning and shock absorption to prevent foot fatigue. We love that the shoes also feature a contoured heel stabilizer to help keep the foot in place. Its durable rubber outsole with multi-directional tread also provides dependable traction on indoor and outdoor surfaces. With so much support and cushioning, the shoe can feel a bit stiff at first, so you may want to wear them around the house or during short walks for the first few wears.ĭesigned with a wide forefoot and heel base, the Propet Stability Walker Sneaker provides excellent stability, making it a smart choice for seniors with concerns about balance. The shoe’s flexible EVA foam midsole, padded tongue, and cushioned collar enhance the overall comfort, while a breathable, moisture-wicking mesh lining helps reduce friction and prevent blisters. A durable rubber outsole provides additional stability as well as reliable traction. The Walker Classic also has a removable podiatrist-designed orthotic that provides good arch support and stability.
For even more heel protection, a thermoplastic heel counter helps to lock in the rearfoot. We like that the shoe’s heel offers firm support as well as ample cushioning, which can be helpful for seniors who are prone to plantar fasciitis and are hoping to avoid a recurrence. With a durable leather upper and sporty design, they’re ideal for fitness walking or all-day casual wear. Vionic’s Walker Classic walking shoe is designed to offer exceptional comfort and stability, which is why they’re a perennial favorite among seniors (and our other best overall pick).
